BIO: Leroy is the Youth Minister at the Church of the Redeemer in Mechanicsville, Virginia. He has occassional written resources for Cornerstone Media, Inc.

QUOTE TO NOTE:  So often, many youth (and adults too) are so paralyzed with the fear of failing that they end up doing nothing.  They only stay with the safe things which may only be one or two things, unfortunately, so their world is very myopic.

OBSCURE FACTOID: Leroy has MC’ed at the 2002 National Conference on Catholic Youth Ministry in Denver.  He was involved on stage for the opening of the 2000 NCCYM in Birmingham and swallowed the stage by force of personality so much that we had to have him back.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Leroy represents our fourth youth minister who serves on the local scene (three in parishes, one campus minister)  It is a nice track for the podcasts, one that was not originally in the plan.  Nonetheless, what a wonderful difference it has made.
